straight women need to start fetishising sapphic women so there can be more femslash fan fiction. we gotta outsource and get more writers on board. I want it to get to the point where two women cant be on screen together without having a 80k space opera fic written about them. I want show runners to be scared of cancelling sapphic shows because legions and legions of fans will come after them. dont tell me my priorities are wrong.

I don’t really go here, but I was randomly scrolling through the bowuigi tag today and I would like to wish every artist that draws Bowser (both original form and any version of humanised) as skinny a very Die In A Fire

Things that are going to happen in 2024 according to Star Trek:
1) the absolutely giant homeless-population of the USA (or was is just New York? Idk, I‘m from Europe) is going to start a civil-war fighting against the upper class and police.
2) Ireland is going to get united

the shocking part about j*mes s*merton is the sheer brazenness of reading other people’s work out loud for minutes at a time and not crediting them. most video essayists are synthesizing and summarizing existing ideas and information for the camera and some people are sloppier about their citations than others, but almost nobody is just fully like, reading off people’s words

I feel like those of us who are longtime Video Essay Enjoyers™ have been aware something was suss about James Summerton (I remember when Lawrence called out Summerton for stealing their Hannibal essay years ago) for a while. But I think it's cynical to reduce Hbomberguy's vid to just a "dunk" when it's more of an odyssey railing against how influencer and content culture devalues the work of culture critics, academics, and activists. As Harris said, it's not a problem exclusive to Summerton, but a corrosive attitude baked into late capitalist "content" culture. The video is a clear exploration of the consequences of all media and art being flattened into "content" creates a system where the labor of marginalised creatives and storytellers are exploited and stolen by people with more privileges and resources. As someone who has witnessed rich tiktokers quote articles and posts I've written verbatim without credit to make money from their 1000s of followers, this video hit super hard for me. From James Summerton claiming the works of dead gay activists, to Charli D'Amelio building a career from stealing dances created by Black tiktokers - plagiarism is often inseparable from discrimination and exploitation of labor rights. Harris' video is about how the nature of influencer content culture has further exacerbated the exploitative systems that already existed, wrapped up as YouTuber drama analysis. But I hope people don't miss the forest for the trees and remember you should always be citing your sources, fact checking, and be very wary of people who don't. And for the love of God, please stop getting your information exclusively from video essays, tiktoks and podcasts.

I’ve written fic to the tune of Gay Paul and even Paul and Alan Solidarity, but now I’m filled with the overwhelming desire to write the Shirley, Paul and Alan bitchfest that we all deserve. To quote myself:
Now I know why Paul and Alan can’t be friends. for most of Paul’s seasons (1-3) they both revolve through the ex-mistress-wife-lover roles. They can’t be friends because the narrative has them as Denny’s past and future, and never the twain shall reconcile.
^^^ from the authors notes of aforementioned fic. Adding Shirley into the mix just the stakes enormously.
Shirley and Paul are the co-founders of the “I had a torrid affair with Denny Crane and all I got was this broken heart and a lifetime of sexual tension with my friend” club. They are waiting patiently for Alan to become an eligible member.

the power of asexual spite will reach through the veil and save the day etc etc

day one bazillion of thinking up an excellent video essay topic knowing that I’m going to write less than 1000 words of a rough draft and promptly forget about it (this on is about reactions to queer death in modern media, contrasting the fan reaction to The Captain’s death scene in Ghosts season 5, and Izzy’s death in OFMD season 2. Specifically focussing on how the Captain’s death was a very unusual and unique addition to media containing Dead Queer Characters, and how that was only possible to pull off because of Ghost’s format, and the excessive backlash that followed Izzy’s death (and I say that as both a fan of the show and the character). Why these two are different from each other, and what makes them distinct from the historical “Buried Gay”.)
